How Space and Motion Determine Biological Form: A Structural Approach to Development and Evolution (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798335415316)

"How Space and Motion Determine Biological From" introduces the foundational ideas of structural evolution, a theory of biological organization in which the movement of biological units of form are confined and directed by the space in which they move. Using a series of new concepts and ideas to elucidate the previously unrecognized hierarchical structure of biological organization, structural evolution identifies the unit of form, sets out the principles of biological motion, describes how movement is regulated, and shows how this leads to the organization of complex biological structures. In this context growth, reproduction, similarity, and variation become consequences of biological motion, and form becomes the fluid movement of its parts.

Structural evolution presents a dynamic view of biological form that explains the pattern of diversification and stasis exhibited throughout evolution, it identifies the source of adaptive variation and solves the problem of epigenetics in morphogenesis. It is a true paradigm change in the understanding of evolution, and a must read for everyone interested in the biological sciences.
